Before I knew it, it was the second year of Jian'an.

Asheng gave birth to a third son, whom Cao Cao named Zhi.

Having a little brother, the happiest thing is Pi Er, who plays tirelessly with this brother who is five years younger than him all day long, digs dog holes in the yard, covers the freshly served meals on the ground to attract ants, takes The ladybug is stuffed in Luyi's clothes, doing everything.

Although Zhi'er is younger, she is not much more lively and active. The two elder brothers go to the house to expose the tiles all day long, and their giggling laughter makes even the birds in Liang Jian feel ashamed.

Poor Luyi dared not speak out when she was angry, and every time she had to hold back her grievances and laugh along with her, silently wiped her butt behind them.

For this reason, Asheng punished Pi'er for standing in the corner and thinking about it, and scolded him for spoiling his little brother, but every time, Xiao Zhi'er timidly pulled his cuffs, and blinked at her with those eyes that were more charming than his brother's. In the blink of an eye, Ah Sheng's heart softened and he calmed down a lot, so he would let Pi'er go free.

Zhang'er has always been a boring gourd. He has been obsessed with swordsmanship and archery since he was a child, and has a great addiction to things on the battlefield.

Every day, when his elder brother and younger brother are having fun together, he often wakes up early and goes out alone, taking advantage of the rising sun to practice bow and horse in the training ground.

Seeing that he liked him, Cao Cao specially sent generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei to instruct him. He is talented and diligent in practice, and he improved in a short time.

This day, Ah Sheng was embroidering a cloak at her desk, and it was already autumn, and soon she was tired and sleepy from the dense needle holes.

She yawned incessantly, and finally couldn't hold it any longer. She pushed aside the needles and threads on her hands, and fell asleep on the table.

In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of the door being pushed open with a "squeak", and a breeze blew in.

But she was too sleepy, she didn't bother to open her eyelids, she just ignored everything around her, adjusted her posture and continued to fall asleep.

"Ma'am, is this a cloak embroidered for Gu?"

As soon as the hoarse and deep male voice came out, Ah Sheng suddenly became excited, and brushed her hand away inadvertently, accidentally piercing the silver needle that was randomly thrown by the side, causing her to scream "ah" in pain.

Immediately, she lost all drowsiness. She drew back her hand with a gasp, and blood dripped from her fingertips instantly. It fell on the scarlet cloak that hadn't been embroidered yet, and quickly seeped along the lines, revealing a little brown blood.

Not caring about the pain in her fingers, she couldn't help lowering her head in frustration, and sighed angrily: "This is not finished yet, and I have to spend time washing it."

She just stood up and wanted to go to the basin, but was stopped by Cao Cao, who had been standing beside her, and put his hand on her right shoulder.

Quietly, she approached her ear, and deliberately breathed some burning breath: "I don't mind. I just want this cloak to be sewn before I go out to battle. Seeing it is like meeting my wife."

A Sheng was taken aback, automatically omitted other information in the words, took half a step away from his arm, and stared at him in surprise: "Are you going to fight again?"

"Yes," he nodded slightly, flicked the overflowing candles, and quickly burst open, "Liu Biao and Liu Bei are a big trouble in the south after all, and Liu Biao is linked with Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with me. So this will definitely hurt them, even if they can't be completely subdued, it will also damage the vitality of this group of people."

In fact, Ah Sheng had already made mental preparations, but he had just returned from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's suppression of the chaos, and soon he was going to send troops again, so he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Resting her chin on her hand, she glanced at the dancing candle, which suddenly confused her sight.

Cao Cao seemed to see her abnormality, stared into her eyes and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

She shook her head, for a long time, she looked at the bluestone ground dully, her voice was a little frustrated: "Your heart is in the world, how could I stop you. But don't get hurt again, lest you come home and cry for pain, I can't help you either .”

"Then I can tentatively understand that Madam is pitying me?" Before he was serious, he began to show his true colors again, looking at her with a malicious smile, his tone seemed to be deliberately teasing, those bright eyes But it is full of tenderness like the moon at night.

A Sheng couldn't help but "bah", rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say such a thing? How could I pity you, an old fox, unless my mind is deranged."

When Cao Cao heard the words, an indecipherable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he immediately returned to normal, and said seriously: "This time, I plan to let Pi'er go with me."

A Sheng's eyes widened immediately, "Teng" got up, and said in surprise: "Pi'er is still so young, how can you take him out without worry?"

Is he crazy? On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes and every step is frightening, and there are fatal dangers that can't be seen everywhere. Isn't Pi'er, a little kid who doesn't understand anything, going to be a living target for others?

She couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, trying to find evidence of madness from his face, she felt incredible.

But he seemed to have expected her to react like this, stretched out his hand and pushed her back to her original position, his expression was calm and calm: "He is your son, and even my Cao Mengde's son, naturally it is impossible for him to set her aside." in danger."

"Then—" before Ah Sheng could say anything, he interrupted, "I understand your worries and concerns better than anyone else, but since he is my son, he can't be a pampered flower in the yard all his life, Splendid essays, commanding, if decided, he must be the same. This enlistment is also a request made by Pi'er himself to me, and I have thought about it for a long time before making this decision against your objection."

"What do you mean?" When he said this, he described A Sheng as a doting and indulgent mother. If she disagreed, she would be in his way, and she couldn't explain why.

She blushed and was about to break free from his hand.

He raised his eyelids slightly, locked her by his side with more force, and replied with a half-smile, "That's what you thought it meant. But—don't worry, I'll keep him by my side all the time, almost as good as Xu Chu Dianwei." A general, he couldn't be more safe. Zixiu will also be with the army, so you have nothing to worry about."

Hu Chi'ai came to the two generals with thunderous names and was absolutely loyal to Cao Cao, so she had no reason to be worried.

This time, Cao Ang was still watching over him. The two had a deep brotherhood since they were young, and the boulder hanging in Ah Sheng's heart slowly fell a little.

"Ah Man, then... you must bring back your two sons safe and sound." The eyelashes moved, and the fine shadows swayed on the cheeks, "And this cloak, I will give it to you after your triumphant return." .”

The day of the expedition coincided with the autumnal equinox, the cinnamon fragrance was floating in the courtyard, and the sunlight was scattered on the window lattice.

A Sheng got up early in the morning, and saw that Pi Er had already put on the armor with the help of Lu Yi, and was happily standing at the door waiting for her.

"Let's go."

At the west gate, tens of thousands of troops are ready to go, all of them are waiting for an order with solemn faces.

The autumn wind surged, rolled up the bleak fallen leaves in the wind, and made a rustling roar in the air, mixed with the morning light to bloom a burst of vitality.

Guo Jiazhu's green robe was covered with a soft armor, and he was standing behind Cao Cao, discussing something with the latter covering their faces with a fan.

Seeing Ah Sheng coming, he put down his fan and saluted her, with a smile on his pale face: "Feng Xiao has met Mrs. Bian."

She hurriedly replied, "I have seen Junshi Guo."

He said again, "Where is Zixiu, why didn't you see him?"

She looked around and found that the handsome and tall young man couldn't be found, so she couldn't help asking Cao Cao.

"I sent Zixiu to lead the army to the rear, one step behind us." Cao Cao said, "I deliberately trained Zixiu, so I entrusted him with this important task."

Cao Ang has just turned eighteen this year, and she is about to be crowned. She also knows that Cao Cao intends to train and train the most proud eldest son, so this arrangement is not surprising.

Pi'er was already restless by the side, the moment he saw his father, he grinned excitedly, and rushed up excitedly to shout: "Father."

I can't wait to open my little hands, wanting to jump up and hug my father.

Cao Cao picked him up with a smile and kissed his forehead, "Be good."

"Ah, now I'm handing over my son to you." Seeing that Pi'er was more enthusiastic about her father than she was towards herself, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart. She reached out to hold Pi'er's shoulder, and gave Cao Cao a reluctant look.

Pi'er's shoulders are still very thin, but wearing a small silver armor has the taste of a general who became famous when he was young. The high ponytail is even more sassy, ​​forming a lovely contrast with his innocent and pure eyes.

"Madam, don't worry, I won't put Pi'er in danger. I am a big man, Sikong, hereby assure you, Madam, if my son loses half of his hair, Madam can beat me with an [-]th army stick to vent my anger." Cao Cao said to Pi'er Putting it down, he got on the horse and chuckled, and Pi Er immediately climbed up on his pony, obediently following behind his father.

He raised a smiling face at Asheng, his bright eyes reflected the bright white sunlight in the sky, showing a mouthful of small canine teeth, and said loudly confidently: "Mother, don't worry, Pi'er will take care of herself, and don't let mother and father worry about it." Besides, Pi'er's swordsmanship is amazing, the masters all praised that although I am young, two-thirds of the current sword masters can't beat me, so what are Liu Biao and Liu Bei's military horses?"

While bragging about himself, he patted the saber on his waist, with a smug smile on his lips.

Ah Sheng hadn't spoken yet, but Zhi'er, who was holding her hand, jumped up and down, as if cheering for her elder brother, and echoed in support: "That's right, brother is amazing... amazing, brother's swordsmanship Unparalleled in the world, he will surely kill those old, weak, sick and disabled, and bow down in front of brother begging for mercy."

His flattery made Pi'er even more proud, and the more he heard it, the more delighted he was, and he wished he could get off the horse and hug his younger brother immediately. As soon as one foot left the stirrup, A Sheng pushed it back instantly, and slapped him on the forehead: " Your younger brother doesn’t understand anything, and you’re blowing your body to the sky, and you’re ashamed to believe his nonsense, it’s really not that brothers don’t come into the same family.”

She saw that the drums of the army had already sounded "tap-tap", the horns blew to wake up the geese in the sky, and the orange glow of the rising sun dyed the armor of every soldier in the distance.

"Take care." She whispered to Cao Cao.

"The army listens to the order and sets out immediately with the solitary. Where is the vanguard?" Cao Cao raised his eyes and glanced at his soldiers, drew his sword out of its sheath, and the Yitian sword suddenly showed its sharpness with a "wow".

"The last general is here!" Le Jin, who was dressed in black armor, came out in response, knelt down in the room, and the heavy armor made a rustling sound, which was especially loud in the silence of the audience.

Cao Cao took out the Eagle Feather Command Arrow from the bodyguard and handed it to him, "General Le, I ordered you to lead five thousand tiger and leopard riders to attack Zhang Xiu in Wancheng at night, so you were caught off guard!"

"The last general has orders!" Le Jin held up the order arrow solemnly, and he should do so.

With a wave of Cao Cao's hand, the three armies were immediately ready to go, the gates of the city were opened, and the flags were flying.
